This invention relates to a governor cont-rol 'device especially designed for use in connection with a well known type of motor j vehicle, the primary object of the invention being lto provide novel means Vfor automatically moving the 'usual'butter-fly valve to reduce the speed of the engine when the-engine has been relieved of its load, and'to increase the speed ofthe engine under a load.

Another object of the invention is to provide a ldevice of this character which will permit the usual motor vehicle to be employed for various purposes such as grindin@ feed, pumping water or the like.

llilith the Vforegoing and other vobjectsin view which will appear' Vas the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter' described and claimed, it being understood that changes in--the precise embodiment lof the Vinvention herein disclosed, may be jmade within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating the engine of a motor vehicle supplied with a controlling -deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention. j Figure 2 is a side elevational view thereof. Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the ,opposite side of the engine.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through the intake manifold illustrating Vthe buttenfly valve. Y

Referring to the drawing in detail, the motor is indicated generally by the reference character 5 which includes the usual 'fan 6 and fan pulley 7 The device forming the essence of the invention includes a shaft 8 that carries a pulley 9 at its outer end, which pulley is adapted to frictionally engage the belt 10 forming a part ofthe usual motor construction to receive Vmotion therefrom.

The-shaft 8 extends through the bearingmembers 11 carried at the ends of the bracket member 12 which is bolted to the engine block by means of the bolts 13 that eX- tend .through arms 14 carried by the bracket member. Slidably mounted on the shaft 8 is a sleeve 15 that is formed with a groovel to accommodate the pins 17 carried by the forked end 18 of the rod 19 that is pivotally supported to the frame Vor bracket member at 20; Thus it will be seen that as the sleeve 15 is moved longitudinally ofthe shaft 8 the rod 19 will be moved. j

This rod 19 extends laterally over the top of the engine' block and ,downwardly as shown by VFigures 1 and 2 of the drawings, the lower free endof therod being supplied with an" opening to accommodatefthe rod v211 i that has its opposite yend positioned @in 'oneof the openings 2,2"formed'in'the curved 'armi 23 that cov'niiectsv with the Ausual butter-fly valve 24, in v'such a" way thatl movement 'of the rod 21 will operate the arm'23 to vmove V the butter-Hy valve.

The sleeve 15 is also formedwith a groove y25 in which` theheads 26 of the governor arms27 are positioned, the arms 27V being pivotally supported at. the outer ends of the arms 28 which are bolted to the member 29 which in turn is pinnedr to rthe shaft 8.

The freeends of the arms 27 are supplied with lcro-ss arms 30 and weights 31, the cross arms 30 being connected by means of coiled springs 32 so thatexpansion of the arms 27 is only accomplished against the tension of the coiled .springs 32, which act-to restrict movement of the arms.

Mounted on the inner end of the shaft 8 is a flanged member 33 in which the collar 34 moves, the collar being mounted within the curvedportion 34 of the arm l35 that moves under the plate 36. Pivotally conn-ected with the arm 35 is'arelatively short arm .37 which also has connection with the controlling lever38 Vso that upon movement of the controlling lever, the arml 37 will beoperated to slide the shaft 8 within its bearings thereby adjusting the normal posi- Y tion of the shaft 8, to adjust the throw of the butter-fly valve .tobetter adapt the device for various purposes. i

Teeth 39` are formed on plate 36 and en- Y gage the lever 38 to hold the lever in various positions of adjustment.

It isto be understood that the connection,

between the rod y19, rod 21, arm 23'and butter-fly-valve is such that fthe butter-ily valve isnormally'held in its open position,

Vbut when the governor arms move outwardly under the centrifugal. force of the rotating shaft 8, the rodv 19 is moved to move the butter-fly valve to reduce the quantity of fuel passing through the engine, thereby reducing the speedV of the engine.

, It is obvious that diie to this construction, l upon the slowing up of the motor, the rod is operated to allow more fuelto enter the iio engine and compensate for the increased load.

I'claim:-

'1. In combination with the butter-fly valve of an internal combustion engine, an operating device embodying a bracket having bearings and adapted to be attached to a` cylinder block of the engine, a shaft mounted for sliding movement and rotaryV movement, Within the bearings, a sleeve mounted on the shaft and adapted to'slide longitudinally thereof, a governor mounted on the shaft and engaging'the sleeve for control-v ling the movement ofthe sleeve longitudinally of the shaft, an arm connected with the 'butter-fly valve, means for t1 ansmitting Vmovement of the .sleeve to the butter-fly valve to regulate the butter-fly valve, means for Sliding the shaft longitudinally of the bearings to change the normal relative posibearings, a governor controlled sleeve onV the shaft, meansA for transmitting v movement of the sleeve to the butter-fly valve to automatically control the butter-fly valve,

and manually controlled means for movingV the shaft longitudinally of its bearings to change the normal relative positions of theV sleeve and governor and means for rotating the shaft.

In testimony that lrclaim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.

HENRY KLANECKY.
